Shaker outscored Toga 18-10 in both the first and 2nd qtrs. to establish a 36-20 halftime lead. Led by junior Casey Hall and 10th grader David Morrison, the Bison dominated the glass. Hall scored 19 of his game high 23 and Morrison 8 of his 12. They alternated running high-low feeding each other at will. Toga’s Mikey McElroy scored 5 early points to give Toga a 5-4 lead but that was all he scored until the second half. The 3rd qtr. was a duel between Shaker senior guard Jeff Hoffman who scored 10 of his 17 versus McElroys 9 points. Shaker pulled away for a convincing 67-41 blowout. As we suspected, the Bison scored every basket in the game, except one Hoffman corner jumper, in the paint.

The two bigs should have a lot of success the next two years for the improving Bison. Senior Dan Keehn scored 15 points for Toga and played a very determined game. McElroy ended up with only 16 points but it was a struggle tonight for the talented senior who had to take many contested shots.

I am on the Tamarac girls coaching staff so talking about other teams would be unprofessional. James gets out to alot of boys and girls games and he would be your resource for that. He does a great job.

If Shaker is tough inside they will give Toga fits as that was the only weakness I saw during the B Spa game. Ryan McVeigh was dominant during the game and actually had 20 boards versus the 15 I guestimated…..tough to say dominated when your team loses by 20…will you be able to catch a game tonight or is this a practice night???
